Piggy is fully aware that Ralph is the only thing that is preventing Jack from becoming chief. Piggy knows that if Jack does become chief all hope of rescue will disappear because Jack will only bother about hunting and the signal fire wil be forgotten. Piggy is also fearful for his own safety.
He voted for Ralph "grudgingly".

That Ralph is still chief.
Piggy's continual references to things that is auntie said and told him not to do showed that Piggy was a follower rather than a leader. This is probably why Piggy never made any attempt to become chief and was happy to support Ralph when he was elected to that position. Piggy is a conformist.
If you are referring to the book Lord of the Flies, then he became chief on page 181. Right after Piggy was killed.
He succeeded in taking Piggy's glasses to start a fire.
Piggy was not considered for chief in "Lord of the Flies" because he lacked the physical abilities and charisma valued by the boys on the island. Despite his intelligence and rational thinking, Piggy's physical weakness, poor eyesight, and lack of assertiveness made him less appealing as a leader to the other boys.
Piggy didn't vote for Ralph in "Lord of the Flies" because he was a loyal supporter of rules and order. He believed that Ralph's leadership qualities were essential for the group's survival on the island. Piggy valued logic and reason, and saw Ralph as the best candidate to lead the boys.
In "Lord of the Flies," Jack expresses his belief that Piggy doesn't have the right to speak and that he shouldn't be chief in Chapter 1. This demonstrates Jack's early disdain for Piggy and his desire to assert his dominance over the group.
